The high compression sock portion of the brace applies significant but comfortable compression to both the lateral and deltoid ligaments, to help support them in both an inversion and eversion situation.
In addition, the permanently attached heel lock design provides a solid strap on both the medial and lateral sides of the ankle, to assist in stabilizing the tibia to the subtalar joint, to help reduce the potential of a ligament strain.
The additional 4" wide medial and lateral straps help to anchor the heel lock straps in place, and create solid support that provides additional resistance in helping to prevent an ankle injury.
